A well balanced critique by @adamtranter.bsky.social of yet another E-bike hatchet job. Including "One contributor, Jessica, hadn’t cycled in 30 years. Her 45-minute commute now takes 18 minutes and she rides all year round." @cyclingelectric.bsky.social www.cyclingelectric.com/in-depth/cha...

Of nearly 19,000 driving violations captured over two weeks, precisely zero drivers were prosecuted. This is because there isn't enough back-office capacity at West Midlands Police, and the process to issue fines hasn't kept pace with camera tech. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Good to see gig economy companies calling for bans on dodgy conversion kits which turn cycles into street illegal electric motorbikes that go over ebike max assist speed of 15.5mph and/or don't need pedalling. Excellent piece for @cyclingelectric.bsky.social by @marksuttonbike.bsky.social...

We limit the speed of ebikes "for public safety", yet this study shows we'd need to limit SUVs to 5.7 km/h for them to pose the same risk to other people #motonormativity findingspress.org/article/1587...

I don't buy into the, 'It's a sign of our dizzying national decline that Hammersmith bridge can't be used by motor vehicles' narrative. It's a 19th century grade II* listed suspension bridge, which simply won't take the cumulative weight of an endless succession of (up to) 18-tonne laden buses.
